An Elegy for Easterly

A woman in a township is surrounded by children but longs for a baby of her own; an old man discovers that working as a coffin maker at a funeral parlour delivers unexpected riches; the wife of a politician stands in a dignified silence at her husband’s funeral as his colleagues bury an empty casket. Ordinary men and women with hopes and dreams in a country torn apart by economic hardship and the political dysfunction of Robert Mugabe’s regime. This award winning short story collection by Zimbabwean author Petina Gappah, is rich in words, ideas, and imagery. Gappah has been rightly hailed as one of literature’s most exciting new voices.
